Any real benefit to running dual widebands?
First, a brief description of my future setup:
2003 Z06
Base PTK kit
Stock bottom end
Corsa Ti exhaust
The normal fuel upgrades
I think that's all the stuff worth mentioning. Anyways....
I've got a new LC-1 coming to me, and I will be purchasing the new EFIlive V2. I plan on integrating the LC-1 into EFIlive. However, since EFIlive can log up to four 5v analog inputs, this leaves me with some options to take up all four of those inputs.
Here's what I planned on logging, or what I felt should be logged to make tuning easier for my newbie tuner self:
1. Wideband, probably a must
2. Boost. Probably useful
3. Fuel Pressure, could also be very useful.
4. ???? Maybe a second wideband?
But is a second wideband really necessary? I mean, sure, you could log both banks, but is there really a need to?
What would you put in spot #4?
As always, thanks for the help and advice, guys.

You can log boost by going 2 bar.
Having 2 different widebands would be convenient for diagnosing problems like misfires or lazy o2's etc.. Other than that I don't see a useful advantage.

you can do without two, but if you want better control it will help you out some as you can stick them in your two down pipes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but EFIlive doesn't have the capability to tune each bank individualy, right?
